I've measured similar power consumption... the spec sheet is definitely on the high side. I usually figure 8 watts for planning purposes, but I haven't ever seen them actually draw that much. According to ubiquiti, the input voltage is 19v to 53v now, but I don't think they are 802.3af compliant. ________________________________ From: ubnt_users-boun...@wispa.org [ubnt_users-boun...@wispa.org] on behalf of Josh Luthman [j...@imaginenetworksllc.com] Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2017 2:46 PM To: Ubiquiti Users Group Subject: Re: [Ubnt_users] Airfiber 5x power consumption
Power consumption Wall is 123vac. Amp meter says 0.07a. 8.61 watts. This is the factory POE. POE spits out 24vdc. Amp meter said 0.23a. 5.52 watts. I waited ~10 minutes after it booted to look. They were definitely associated. It's running 33dBm EIRP @ 5240. 6 watt radio I would *NOT* call power hungry at all. They were 24v radios on the first shipment, there's a specific MAC address range (very small). These days they're 24-48 volts. It's to the point where Netonix is removing 24vh (power on 4 pairs) because AF5x was the only radio that uses it and it isn't necessary but for a small number of existing units. I think the cut off is 20v?

Anyone able to tell me how true this is? Looking to bolt something onto a solar site, and I was under the impression the airfiber line was power hungry. Plus, I could have sworn they were af802.3 compliant so 48 volt. This isn't a case of someone copy pasting spec sheets from airmax radios, is it?
